WOYWW 542

So much for my good intentions of posting every week!  Whizz day again and time for WOYWW courtesy of Julia and The Stamping Ground

This week has seen the return of Heather "The Wanabee Quilting Queen" as I realised we are hurtling towards Christmas and I have not even started on the 2 quilts I should have made for my grandsons last Christmas!  Oh dear ... how bad am I?  So, I've decided I will be a crafting goddess over the next 8 weeks and get the quilts made, christmas cards made (for myself and my willing victims customers at work), delve into the world of candle making since I got a candlemaking kit for my birthday yesterday- still downstairs as I'm reading through the instructions, but will no doubt be somewhere in my craft room next week.  Oh, and I decided it's high time I made my own Christmas cake.  I used to make them with my mother when I was a girl - but have never made one in the 31 years since she passed away, so now is a good time to start.  If anyone has a well loved recipe then I'm open to offers 😉. 

My desk shows the start of George's quilt.  I'm hoping to report significant progress next week, but we do have my granddaughter for a sleepover on Saturday, so craft room will become guest room again.


Please leave a comment so I know you stopped by.  I'll be visiting this evening and maybe lunchtime tomorrow if I don't get round everyone.  Have a lovely  week, Heather xx

WOYWW 540

Good morning all.  Oh dearie me where have the last 8 weeks gone!  I can't believe I have been AWOL for so long!  I've no excuses - just real life in all its forms - work, family, hospital appointments, holiday (to Barcelona, very lovely), visitors from Canada, and some DIY in the garden!  Aside from all that it's been very quiet!  Time to visit Julia and all the other deskers in WOYWW.

I don't have much to show for 8 weeks, so it's a short post from me.  A few anniversary cards is pretty much it.  Hopefully life has quietened down enough for me to do some crafting, but one never knows!


Hope everyone is well, and I'll be round to visit this evening!  Take care, Heather x
